Flatbed Semi Trailer Step?

Today while driving down the interstate I came up behind a semi that was pulling a flat bed trailer. On the back end there were a couple of what looked like cast aluminum steps that could be flippped down to give you an extra step when getting up on the trailer. Does anyone here know what I'm talking about and do you know who makes them?

I've seen them as fold out retractable step attached at the back so a swamper could just step up instead of climb up on the trailer deck.

They were made of Aluminium Checkerplate.

I've seen 'em and they're company built. Don't know the name but I'll try to find out for ya. I'd think they'd be available from someone like trailmobile.
